84 / heater core / HELP!
Could someone please tell me some instructions
on removing the heater core on an 84 or a route to take in finding out? My mechanic says his info tells him the dash does NOT have to be removed but he is scratching his head on the access point and procedure to use in such a confined space. I am new to this model Vette and it looks like my mechanic is too :-) Please save the negative remarks. My mechanic is a pretty good Mr. Goodwrench but his specialty was not Vettes. It was Cads. Thank For Any Help -- "Key" |
the heater core in my '86 was replaced before i got it ,but the previous
owner stated he had to take apart the whole dashboard.

It was Cads. No, the whole right side dash has to be removed. You start with the dash panel and work your way down. No special tools needed, just time to put it all back together. Well worth the price of admission if you do it yourself because the core itself is so cheap. |

Thanks JOEVET for your reply.
Thats what my mechanic is thinking. however the repair software that he has (figures man-hours, I guess?) says the dash does not have to be removed but it doesn't tell him any procedure to follow. This is my/our dilemma... -- "Key" "JOEVET" > wrote in message ... > the heater core in my '86 was replaced before i got it ,but the previous > owner stated he had to take apart the whole dashboard. > "''Key" > wrote in message > ... > > Could someone please tell me some instructions > > on removing the heater core on an 84 > > or a route to take in finding out? > > My mechanic says his info tells him the dash does NOT have > > to be removed but he is scratching his head on the access > > point and procedure to use in such a confined space. > > > > I am new to this model Vette and it looks like my mechanic > > is too :-) > > Please save the negative remarks. > > My mechanic is a pretty good Mr. Goodwrench but his > > specialty was not Vettes.

Take the underside of the passenger side dash off and work from the
outside to get the hoses loose and then remove the heater core frim under the dash. You have to open the case and there are multiple screws ''Key wrote: > Could someone please tell me some instructions > on removing the heater core on an 84 > or a route to take in finding out? > My mechanic says his info tells him the dash does NOT have > to be removed but he is scratching his head on the access > point and procedure to use in such a confined space. > > I am new to this model Vette and it looks like my mechanic > is too :-) > Please save the negative remarks. > My mechanic is a pretty good Mr. Goodwrench but his > specialty was not Vettes.
